Drake and Kormilev (1958, p. 243) suppressed the genus Eretmocoris 
Harris and Drake as a synonym of Acaricoris Harris and Drake. 
Usinger and Matsuda (1959, p. 132) separated them and indicated 
that the former is related more closely to Aglaocoris Drake and 
Maldonado. They further noted that Acaricoris is related closely to a 
new genus that they erected, Kolpodaptera. Actually, all four genera 
are related to each other and, pending a needed revision, I prefer to 
leave them separate.

Figure 1 
FrmMALE.—Elongate ovate, rugose, and glabrous; legs with very 
fine, inclined hairs. Body covered with a very thin layer of whitish 
incrustation. Apterous. 
Head shorter than width across eyes (19:22). Anterior process 
moderately strong, parallel sided, notched anteriorly; clypeus reaching 
middle of antennal segment I, much higher than genae, with a small 
preapical tubercle. Antenniferous tubercles, strong, dentiform, diver- 
gent. Eyes globose, protruding, but not pedunculate. Postocular 
borders strongly converging backward, with a thin, longitudinal 
carina. Vertex raised in the shape of a trident, with median tooth much 
shorter than laterals. Laterad of trident with two (1+1) elongate 
ovate callosities. Antennae slender, one-and-a-half times as long as 
head width (33.5:22); relative length of antennal segments I to IV 
10:7:8.5:8; segments I and II clavate, III slightly tapering toward 
base, IV fusiform. Labium not reaching base of head; labial groove 
wide, shallow, open posteriorly. 
Pronotum short and wide (12.5:42), separated from mesonotum by 
a distinct sulcus. Collar thin, straight anteriorly. Anterolateral 
angles rounded; lateral borders strongly converging forward, slightly 
sinuate, with two (1+1) small tubercles posteriorly. Posterior border 
angularly, deeply incised medially, twice (1+1) sinuate laterally. 
Disc rugose, with two (1+1) subrectangular tubercles anteriorly, 
separated from each other by a thin median sulcus that becomes much 
deeper and wider behind them. Along anterolateral borders, from 
collar to posterior border, extend two (1-+1) thin carinae. Mesonotum 
completely fused with metanotum and terga I—-II; the median portion 
occupied by a spear-shaped elevation with a very thin median sulcus, 
separated from lateral portions by depressions passing anteriorly into 
deep sulci. Lateral portions of mesometanotum roundly raised in the 
middle, discs rugose.
